Undisclosed Superhero Film

Speaking with JoBlo, Thomas Hayden Church reveals he appears in an upcoming, non-Marvel superhero movie.

I’m not supposed to talk about it, but I actually have returned, but not in the Marvel world, it’s another world, but it is in that genre of superheroes and supervillains. I’m not supposed to talk about it, it’s a movie I shot last year. They’re trying to keep it-and good luck to ‘em-with, y’know, today man, I’m surprised it hasn’t already kinda been revealed.

The Lord of the Rings

Andy Serkis vaguely discusses whether or not he’ll eventually be involved with Amazon’s new LotR series:

Oh gosh, I have no idea what that’s about, really. I mean, it sounds incredible, but I don’t see myself being any part of it. I don’t think they would – I think it’s a completely fresh, new approach to it all, so I don’t think I’d imagine myself to be anywhere near it really.
